I don’t know why I have been thinking this, but would love to see a lot of these old guys brought back, just as a goof in their own movie, like a spin off Avengers or Justice League style. Have no idea who would play who, Have Tom and Jerry and the whole bunch or as many as possible in them.
Would be great to watch, just for old times sake. Make it comedy style, but a bit on the serious side as well. No Idea why I have been thinking that aside from the fact that I miss these old cartoons, and would like to see them come back.
This was actually a pilot for The Roadrunner Show, which never happened, so they released this as a theatrical short. Most Looney Tunes were about 7 minutes, while this one was close to 26, so it was their longest ever. They then divided it into two shorts for tv. The song from this was used in Roadrunner A-GoGo, & then stuff for To Beep Or Not To Beep, and later Zip Zip Hooray, but there’s plenty here never before seen since 1962.
Something else I didn’t know. Might be I should start to take the time to watch some of these ‘golden oldies’ that I never really saw from back in the day, esp. the B&W ones, not that I didn’t see my fair share of those, I started off with that and a set of rabbit ears until they came up with the great idea of color, the after that cable, and see what I see, starting to think I really missed something….
The info may not be useful, but it’s fun trivia. Our first tv was a small Philco B&W about the size of my laptop. It had rabbit ears also. Made cool sounds when it was turned on & off - kind of like old 1950s sci-fi sounds. Later on, we used those as sound effects on an album ♬
We had a bigger one growing up, can’t remember the actual size, was on a stand though, remember that, not really big though, remember watching a lot of cartoons on it, creature features stuff, Dark Shadows (had to sneak that though, was told I couldn’t watch that, it ‘gave me nightmares’, but never had a single one…), probably a 13 inch, give or take. Can’t remember the brand though. Worked really well, was a lot of baseball games played on that, growing up.
Was raised in Jersey, so the Met’s and the Yankees were the 2 big teams that got watched a lot, and we normally were able to get a pretty good picture of those most of the time. Of course, that was before the advent of cable and things like ESPN, and that all got monitized…
Nice. Dark Shadows is a far cry from Roadrunner, but loved that a lot growing up. Had an album of the soundtrack. Our favorite song was Back At The Blue Whale ♫
I remember watching Dark Shadows after school (first grade and on) with my Mom; I think it was the shared experience that helped make it so memorable. I know the TV was B&W and small, but I remember the story and characters… my mind really filled in the blanks.
I still have the LP and 45. Listening to the soundtrack on YT now.
Thanks for the memories!
Children wouldn’t be allowed to watch most of them nowadays. Even most of the ones that have been posted here the last couple of days. But I get your feelings of nostalgia.
Today’s cartoons are crap. I haven’t watched cartoons on tv in decades.
Sad they wouldn’t be allowed to watch these, not a single thing wrong with them, but yet the stuff they ARE allowed to watch today would make our ‘rents back in the day flip the heck out and start loading the guns for certain. Just unreal how things have changed…
Was Looney Tunes made for kids or adults?
The original ‘Looney Tunes’, in the book ”Reading the Rabbit: Explorations in Warner Bros. Animation,” by Kevin S. Sandler, explains that creator Tex Avery said he “leaned more toward the adult audience.” And animator Chuck Jones said the cartoons “were absolutely made for adults.”
I distinctly remember hearing Wilma call Fred a lush after she got mad at him for coming home drunk.
🤣 I had no idea! I don’t even remember an episode with Fred coming home drunk, truth be told. Just remember watching all of them when I was a kid. Thought that they were made for kids. Snap, another childhood bubble burst….
